Web scraping can be done by creating a web crawler in Python. Before coding a Python-based crawler, you need to look into source and get to know the structure of the target website. And of course you need to learn Python. It will be much easier if you already know how to code. But for a tech noob, it’s very difficult to learn everything from scratch. So we create our app Octoparse to help people who know little to nothing about coding to easily scrape any web data.

In this tutorial we will learn how create the simplest and easiest web scraper to scrape a list of URLs, without any coding at all. This method is best suited to beginners like some of you. (We will assume that Octoparse is already installed on your computer. If that’s not the case, download here)
